Detroit Tigers fans and various prospect writers have not seen right-hander Alex Faedo pitch in quite sometime. Last season, we had him ranked number 13 overall and most recently, Michael looked at his long-term future with the ballclub.

In an interview with the Freep’s Evan Petzold ($), Casey Mize told the beat writer that he feels that the playoffs are “too low of a goal” for the Detroit Tigers. Mize, 24, will be entering his third season in the big leagues and has established himself as an anchor of the rotation for years…
Hey everyone. I’m Tanya, and I oversee all of our baseball communities for SB Nation. This Thursday will be a big day for our community: we’re moving our comments to a new platform, developed especially for SB Nation. All of our MLB communities will be moving to the new platform, and I’m excited about the
There’s never a bad time to fall into a Baseball-Reference.com rabbit hole. With a plethora of information to absorb, a visit to one page can easily lead a curious web surfer to another page and then another, and so on and so forth. The B-R random page generator is a fun way to dig into…
It is not entirely fair to place the burden of trades gone wrong on acquired prospects, but it is impossible for Detroit Tigers fans to hear the names Daz Cameron, Jake Rogers, and Franklin Pérez and not shake their heads in disappointment. Trading Justin Verlander became an inevitability back in 2017, but to have none
1905 saw things begin to turn around for the Tigers. They had a new future superstar in their midst (though they couldn’t have possibly known it at the time, since he only came to the club in late August), and the club managed to post a winning record at long last under new manager Bill
Major league players and owners sat down for over two hours on Monday, and the players arrived with some altered proposals, including dropping the age-based exceptions that they previously made to the service time requirement for free agency. The union also modified their proposals on revenue sharing, according to Evan Drellich of the Athletic. The
The staff at Motor City Bengals put together their own Detroit Tigers prospect ranking independent of one another. Co-site experts Rogelio Castillo and Chris Brown aggregated that info and used the averages to come up with the site’s Top 20.
The specter of the player drafted one spot behind him will hang over Jackson Jobe until he proves that he was worthy of being taken third overall by the Tigers in the 2021 MLB draft. Detroit’s front office certainly seems to think that he’s something special; they must, in order to have committed such an
Our look at the top 20 prospects in the Detroit Tigers system continues with an in-depth examination of Kody Clemens. Kody Clemens is the second infielder we’ve previewed, following our #20 prospect Andre Lipcius. You can also read about our #19 prospect Garrett Hill here.
Of the Detroit Tigers‘ recent successes in turning their fortunes around, certainly the most crucial was hitting on their high first-round draft picks. Sure, none of the group is exactly tearing it up at the major league level just yet, but by any standards, the organization didn’t blow any of its four top ten picks
The Detroit Tigers need pitching. It sounds a bit odd when considering it has been the foundation of the rebuild. It isn’t that those arms haven’t panned out, either. Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal have the makings of solid rotation pieces that could be long-term anchors. The jury is still out on Matt Manning, Alex…
If you are familiar with the concept of “cups of coffee” after the article I posted on Monday, there are a few more Tigers that appeared once and disappeared and this time, we focus on two pitchers, one more recent, and the other, a local legend.
Our year-by-year dive into Tigers history (and the history of the world at the time) continues with a dive into 1904. The Tigers were… not good. They bid farewell to a manager, saw a pitcher be their best two-way player, and the team took on new ownership. And in our player spotlight, the story of
It is a time of optimism for Detroit Tigers fans. Sure, Major League Baseball is currently in the midst of a lockout. And the Detroit Tigers have the second-worst winning percentage in baseball over the past five years. But the 2021 season was undeniably a step in the right direction.
Through the end of the 2021 season, there have been 121 players who hit only one home run in a regular season game while wearing a Detroit Tigers uniform. Included in that group are 44 players whose lone home runs as Tigers turned out to be the only ones that they ever hit in their…
Losing isn’t fun. However, for many teams in recent years, losing has served their purpose. The Detroit Tigers are among those teams, using a series of miserable seasons to propel them toward a brighter future by way of top draft picks. The plan is already bearing fruit, but things will kick into another gear this
As we’re at a standstill in terms of the hot stove, and don’t yet want to dive into full-on previews of the Tigers majors players, we’ll continue breaking down the Tigers projected bench options. There’s a decent mix of potential and depth both, and fine tuning the bottom of the depth chart always seems to
Back in the early days of 2020 we started a series that spotlighted the Tigers through the years, aiming to do an entry for every team starting from 1901 onwards. We got through two years (I take full responsibility). The series is back now, and we’re kicking things off with 1903, but if you want
Over the course of his brief career, Riley Greene has made a strong case as the stand alone top prospect for the Detroit Tigers. It’s not unanimous, as many might consider Spencer Torkelson to be the top prospect. However, that’s a good problem to have. Both are arguably top 10, if not top 5 prospects
